How ULEZ rules apply to the Grand Cherokee
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (81% of Grand Cherokees tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (17% of Grand Cherokees tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- LPG (1% of Grand Cherokees tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Grand Cherokees from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (29% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Jeep can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Jeep Grand Cherokee for London: what the MOT data shows
The Jeep Grand Cherokees in this data were first registered between 1997 and 2020. 2014 was the most common year, with 1,509 tests (12% of the total), and half were registered in 2013 or later.
Grand Cherokees from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 83% of the time, at an average of 61,117 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 67% of the time with 108,894 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Grand Cherokees likely to comply are from 2016. 967 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 84% of the time and averaged 60,776 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Grand Cherokees likely to comply are from 2006. 225 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 63% of the time and averaged 120,138 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Grand Cherokee's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (5.9% of tests); brakes: "efficiency below requirements" (3.1%) and "less than 1.5 mm thick" (1.8%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 13.1% of tests.
Overall, 74% of Grand Cherokees passed first time, slightly above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 90,128 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
